Blackmer Compressors

Description

Blackmer’s vertical piston compressors come in single or two stage versions with air or water-cooling. Packages can be supplied engineered to meet customer’s specific requirements whether for continuous gas transfer, liquid transfer or gas evacuation down to pressures of 50 millibar absolute. Compressors are available for displacements of up to 212 m3/h and system pressures up to 42 bar. The single stage, reciprocating compressors create a low-pressure area in the pumping chamber when the piston moves from the highest point of the stroke to the lowest point. Gaseous product (at a higher pressure in the tank) moves into the pumping chamber. This volume of gas is then displaced when the piston moves to the top of the stroke. Equipped with high efficiency valves, ductile iron pistons, self-adjusting piston rod seals and other robust features, these compressors are designed to provide maximum performance and reliability under the most severe service conditions.
